Do I stop having a period now??



Recommended Posts

OK. Gross topic, I know. But I am supposed to be on my period now. And I can't even say that I am spotting. Maybe a tiny little bit, but that is it. Is this normal? :confused1: It has been a month since I got my sleeve.

Thanks,

Stacey

I'm with ya... Granted, I've been getting more irregular as I get older anyway (44) and my mom was done with everything by the time she was 48, but I was already a week late at surgery (8 days ago), expected it to start with a bang right afterward like it does for so many people, and still nothing (and NO, they did a pg test right before surgery and I'm definitely not pregnant LOL)... I'm kinda curious too!

I am 5 months out and my period has been all over the map. I spoke with my PCP about it and he said this surgery sends your hormones all out of whack for about a year. I would not worry about it.

Are you *sure* you are not preg?

My period got lighter and shorter since surgery. I actually downloaded a fertility application for my IPhone so I could chart because it was driving me crazy. My cycle went from all over the place, to every 30-33 days now. I have 1 day of spotting, one heavier day, then one super light to spotty day, and it's over.

It's all hormonal. Mine didn't regulate out until the 3rd month out, and now it's more regular and I can actually tell right before.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
